Stop chopping Trees need to stay upright. Period.

#Climate leader @billmckibben once again denounces wood pellet biomass as a climate solution. We need to keep our forests standing not burn them for fuel. #Stand4Forests

Opinion: We can’t plant or log our way out of climate change | CNN We can’t save the climate by ramping up logging and simply planting new trees to replace existing forests, writes Dogwood Alliance Executive Director Danna Smith

“We only have about 8 years to turn things around”. We must take action NOW! Industrial logging & wood production are major drivers of #climate destruction. Check out our Executive Director, @dannadogwood's @CNN opinion piece! #Stand4Forests #CallToEarth

Keeping trees in the ground where they are already growing is an effective low-tech way to slow climate change Permanently protecting large, mature forests is a faster and cheaper way to stabilize Earth’s climate than complex carbon capture and storage schemes, and more effective than planting new trees.

Don’t Burn Trees to Fight Climate Change—Let Them Grow Countries and public utilities around the world are trying to reduce carbon emissions by burning wood pellets for fuel instead of coal, but recent studies have shown that the practice will have disastrous effects.

The push for standing forest protections in US climate policy Researchers say "proforestation" policies—protecting standing forests and allowing them to develop to maturity—is the fastest and most effective way to draw excess CO2 out of the atmosphere.

SCDHEC Grants Enviva Greenwood Expansion SCDHEC ignored the repeated attempts of community members committed to a cleaner and healthier SC and granted Enviva permission to expand air pollution in Greenwood.

Despite overwhelming opposition, SCDHEC granted Enviva’s expansion in SC, allowing Enviva's #forest destruction to increase to 43 acres logged every day. We'll continue to #Stand4Forests & communities. Unity makes us stronger. Let’s keep working together.

Giving trees away to logging and biomass companies will not stop weather-driven fires, but it often makes them burn more intensely and spread faster. S. 4603 is bad for our forests and not a wildfire solution. #StopTheChop #Stand4Forests #Oppose4603

Climate Change Policy: Utilizing Natural Resources Climate change, by definition, is a situation that is showing us the impact we have on the natural resources around us from manmade activity. While preserving those natural resources is a key goal of any climate action, the proper use and care for those same natural resources can be a tool towards preventing the worst impacts of climate change as well. From green spaces able to act as carbon sinks to regenerative agriculture practices that can create new opportunities for more climate-friendly uses of the land, policies that focus today on how we are utilizing natural resources are a key component of the climate policy puzzle.

“Forests are the best technology available for storing and sequestering carbon from out of the atmosphere. So the more we protect #forests and the more we look at natural #climate solutions, the better off we are.” - @scotq #Stand4Forests

Emissions Trading System: Stop Perverse Climate Impact of Biomass by Radically Reforming CO2 Accounting Rules Several European countries who are considered leaders in climate protection owe their apparently good emission reductions to biomass. These might turn out to look quite different in the future, if carbon-accounting under the Emissions Trading System (ETS) were to be based on science and the real effects on climate. As the European Commission works on a revision of its central climate policy tool, the European Academies’ Science Advisory Council suggests a radically new standard.

Proforestation: Nature's Climate Solution Proforestation is the only “natural climate solution” that gives forests a break to slow climate change, optimize resiliency, and restore biodiversity.

The term proforestation, which means growing intact existing #forests to their ecological potential, draws our attention to existing standing forests as our best hope for pulling carbon out of the atmosphere in the shortest period of time. #Stand4Forests

Robeson County residents tell DEQ to deny air permit for Active Energy wood pellet plant • NC Newsline A proposed wood pellet plant faces vehement opposition from many Robeson County residents, including elected officials, and environmental advocates, who say the facility would not only pollute the air, but also would be financially risky and environmentally unjust. The NC Department of Environmental Quality held a virtual public hearing Monday night to receive formal comments […]
